Re: This is a helluva newsgroup
No BS on alt.smokers.cigars either.
I think it is the people in the groups being relentless about the OT noise.

Re: This is a helluva newsgroup- NG Charter post Now!
You have a very good point there Jason, I believe it is that too.
On OT or commercial noise, I usually send a friendly email heads up
about this group having a Charter and normally get back decent responses
and apologies.
The ones that don't respond nice get slammed and some of the threads can
get, well... 'interesting' but still. Run them out and maybe have a
decent group.
Most ISP's these days take spam and newsgroup Charters seriously so
enough complaints and things can happen...
We all have our off days though... ;-)
The Charter is locate here:
ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announc...rs.jeep+******
And a quote:
RATIONALE: rec.autos.makers.jeep+******
The discussion of Jeep 4 wheel drive vehicles began on the offroad
mailing list as well as on the Usenet group rec.autos.4x4. As the
offroad mailing list grew in size, the Jeep-L listserver was set up to
discuss topics specifically to Jeep and ****** vehicles.
At this time there are more that 50 articles sent to the Jeep
listserver, as well as > 50 articles being sent on the offroad server
daily. The volume on the usenet group rec.autos.4x4 exceeds 125
articles daily.
It has been suggested that a new Usenet group be created to take the
load off of the listservers as well as limit the articles in the
rec.autos.4x4 newsgroup.
CHARTER: rec.autos.makers.jeep+******
The unmoderated newsgroup rec.autos.makers.jeep+****** is to be used
for discussions, announcements, expression of opinions, and questions
about Jeep (Trade Mark) and ****** vehicles. It also serves as a
medium for those interested in sharing and exchanging their
experience. It is also meant to be a forum for buying and selling
parts by non-commercial vendors.
Some things that could be discussed....
-Jeep/****** history
-repairs and modifications
-parts exchange
-technical information
-4x4 driving experiences
-vehicle restoration
-new vehicle evaluations
Some things that shouldn't be discussed....
-4 wheel drive vehicles made by
other manufacturers
-commercial posts
The articles sent to the Jeep listserver will be cross-posted to Usenet
but not vise versa.
END CHARTER.
